Thekolnews.site
Summary
Pages of this type employ numerous social engineering and misleading tricks to get unsuspecting users to subscribe to their push notifications. Afterward, the con websites can begin generating revenue for their operators through an intrusive ad campaign. The most widely used scenario, and the one observed on Thekolnews.site, is pretending to be doing a CAPTCHA check for bots. Thekolnews.site will then be able to freely deliver unwanted and intrusive advertisements to the device via the affected browser. Furthermore, users who are not careful could be tricked by the advertisements into downloading annoying PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) or redirected to more serious hoax websites, phishing pages, and compromised domains that could be spreading malware threats.
